Description
Description: TNFRSF10A produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 224 amino acids (24-239a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.9kDa. (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 18-28kDa). TNFRSF10A is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Human TNFRSF10A is a type 1 transmembrane protein in the TNF R superfamily. TNFRSF10A is not expressed in rodents. The trimeric ligand Trail binds TNFRSF10A and induces apoptosis, and recombinant, soluble forms of the receptor inhibit Trail-induced apoptosis. TNFRSF10A is expressed generally in damaged, infected, and malignant cells. TNFRSF10A functions in immune surveillance, inducing apoptosis in cancer cells but not normal cells
